We’re excited to announce that we’ll be teaming up with defy_ventures to help formerly incarcerated individuals achieve their entrepreneurial dreams.     Defy Ventures’ mission is to reduce the rate of recidivism, which is the average return to prison rate for formerly incarcerated individuals. They do that through their Entrepreneurs in Training (EIT) programs, which provide resources, training, and mentorship so that graduates of the EIT programs can be successful in their new life of economic independence. Defy Ventures’ programs have a recidivism rate of less than 10%, while the national average is 30%.    Read how we’ll be helping one of America’s largest forgotten groups to #defytheodds.
